Images of Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX, Psyduck & Slowpoke-GX, Jirachi-GX, Weavile-GX!
We finally have images of CoroCoro magazine thanks to a staff member from Japan, confirming the card text for the Pokemon-GX we’ve been talking about for the past few days!
These two Tag Team cards will debut in SM11 Miracle Twins on May 31st. The cards will become part of our Unified Minds set in August.
Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX – Darkness – HP280
Basic Pokemon (TAG TEAM)[D][D][D][D][C] Greed Crash: 210 damage. If your opponent’s Active Pokemon is a Pokemon-GX or Pokemon-EX and is Knocked Out by damage from this attack, take 1 more Prize card.
[D][D][D][D][C]+ Gigafall GX: 250 damage. If you have 5 additional Energy attached to this Pokemon (in addition to this attack’s cost), discard 15 cards from the top of your opponent’s deck. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Mega Sableye’s name is spelled out in full, so it’s not treated as a Mega Evolution Pokemon like the original mechanic from the XY era. This will be the first time we’ve seen a Mega Evolution in the TCG since 2016’s Evolutions.
Slowpoke & Psyduck-GX will be the first Tag Team card that features two unevolved Pokemon.
As posted before, Jirachi-GX and Weavile-GX will come from the Espeon & Deoxys and Umbreon & Darkrai Tag Team decks. They will also release in Japan on May 31st.
